Atkinson not happy with MA15+ rating for Modern Warfare 2

Kotaku has posted an article today about South Australian Attorney-General Michael Atkinson attempting appeal the MA15+ rating for Modern Ware 2.

He appeared on Radio National, hosted by the ABC, and was asked for his opinion of the game, described by interviewer Peter Mares as "violent and bloody and graphic and confronting.”

Atkinson replied "I'll be appealing against that classification, I think it's wrong,"

Kotaku lists another example where Atkinson talks about "the Japanese game Rape Play where one scores points for raping a mother and daughter," but it is brought to his attention that the game is not available outside of Japan, even in countries with an R18+ rating. Atkinson's reply?

“Well, I wouldn’t put it past the Classification Board to make that an R rated game, frankly, on their previous form,”
